Nonduality Highlights: Issue #4108, Saturday, December 18, 2010
Be fully aware of your own being and you will be in bliss
consciously. Because you take your mind off yourself and make it
dwell on what you are not, you lose your sense of well-being.

If the mind makes no discriminations, the ten thousand things are
as they are, of single essence.

Unchanging Awareness
Learn to watch both your experience and your reactions to your
experience. This process of observant attention and witnessing
will enable you to see that your fundamental and essential sense
of identity exists as an unchanging point of Awareness within the
heart of all changing conditions and circumstance.
This Awareness is grounded in the present moment and never exists
outside of Now. It is always accessible and never exists
somewhere other than Here. It is the immediate and undeniable
Center of who you imagine yourself to be.
Reside in this Center, and realize that the essence of this
Awareness is not separate from That which manifests before,
around and within you.
- Metta Zetty
If you choose presence now, because you realize strongly that
that is what wants to realize itself through you, then it's less
likely that life will have to force you into presence. You can
either voluntarily walk into paradise or be dragged into it
screaming "No!"
- Eckhart Tolle
This is so dopily simple....SO dopily simple. What are all the
long books about? All the fancy words and all of us getting
ourselves tied up in knots. It's just simple. Let's just be here.
And when we're here, let's just invite our whole beings here,
every bit. And then when every bit is here, let's invite
everybody else here. That's it ... end of story. We're already
present. What's the big whoop? Where do we think we're
going?
